Ann Brinkworth Carter

[nichbuket]

Hello, and thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to offer.

For a very long while now a few cousins and I have been trying to trace back farther then our 5th great grandmother Ann Brinkworth.  According to marriage/census records she was born about 1789 Stanley, Gloucestershire, England.  She married Thomas Carter 20 Feb 1810 in Leonard Stanley, Gloucestershire, England.  We believe she passed in the first quarter of 1857.

Try as we might, we can't seem to find a birth record that matches.  Any advice on maybe where we could look, would be appreciated. We've hit ancestry, family search and a few Gloucestershire databases with no luck.

Thanks!
Nich

Had a quick look at the Gloucestershire Marriage Index CD from 1800 for Leonard Stanley and there is just your Ann BRINKWORTH marrying Thomas CARTER of Arlingham - 1810 by Banns.

The Gloucestershire Burial Index CD - does have 3 BRINKWORTH burials at Leonard Stanley and these could well be   Ann's parents


Mary BRINKWORTH - 11 August 1816 aged 60
Richard BRINKWORTH - 16 May 1821 aged 76
Mary BRINKWORTH - 25 February 1827 aged 85 c 1745  **


Gloucestershire Baptism Index CD after 1813

One BRINKWORTH baptism at Leonard Stanley

Charles BRINKWORTH - 17 February 1822 - parents: Thomas (Weaver) & Harriot


Church Latter Day Saints does have a baptism of a

Richard BRINKETT - 14 February 1747 Leonard Stanley - father Thomas

Hi,
I've found a couple of marriages that may be of interest:-
Isaac BRINKWORTH m. Mary MARTON @ Leonard Stanley, 20th April 1781.
Richard BRINKWORTH m. Mary SMITH @ Leonard Stanley, 26th December 1784.

The Leonard Stanley Marriages 1570-1812 are on line

?

Thomas BRINKET m Ann HEDGES - 1 October 1738
Thomas BRINKET m Susanna WRIGHT - 10 February 1759
Richard BLINKWORTH m Mary SMITH - 26 December 1784


(looking at the children of Thomas & Ann CARTER on the baptism index - the family appear to be Weavers) and these families did move about a bit.

Two BRINKET(T) burials at Horsley

Ann - 26 October 1828 aged 74
Sarah - 13 January 1828 aged 8

Thank you all for you speedy replies.

Yes we did consider Ann being from a neighboring perish, though all records say Stanley.  Even snooping around we couldn't find an Ann that fit.

I have Isaac & Mary and Richard & Mary as possibilities but I haven't been able to find an exact connection.  The only Richard & Mary I could track down with a daughter Ann had her born in 1757, 30 years to early.

In King's Stanley (about 12 minutes away today) there are an Aaron & Martha as well as a Jonathan & Hester having children about the same time Ann was born, but again no luck finding Ann.

There are a few Ann Brinkworths baptized in the early 1790s, but that is Laycock, Wiltshire (about 53 minutes away today)  and I believe we can account for them marrying other people/dying before marriageable age.

Not that Ann and Thomas typically follow the naming patterns of the time, but their first daughter is Maria Mary, so I felt there was a good chance that Ann's mother was a Mary.

Thanks again!

When Ann** BRINKWORTH married Thomas CARTER in 1810 - where they any witnesses?

On the Gloucestershire Genealogical Database there does appear to be clusters of BRINKWORTH/BRINCKWORTH/BRINKETT who were non-conformists.

*** There is also a chance Ann could be been baptised Hannah - have seen this shortened a number of times of various trees

Assume Thomas & Ann(e) had their children baptised at Arlingham as Thomas CARTER was from Arlingham

Glos Cd from 1813

Looking for witnesses at marriages gives family links....

Had a very quick look at the Forest of Dean records as you can cross-check for witnesses and
think is could prove very useful.

Marriage at Arlingham - 26 April 1842

Henry BRINKWORTH - full age, Widower, Farmer - residence: Arlingham
father: Jasper BRINKWORTH - occupation Waterman

married

Hannah DAVIS - full - Widow, occupation, Shopkeeper - residence: Arlingham

father: Samuel SHEARMAN - Shopkeeper (by Licence)

witnesses:

Thomas CARTER
Anne CARTER - marked

Forest of Dean records have a burial of

Henry BRINKWORTH 18 June 1846 aged 68 of Priding Arlingham c 1778
Diana BRINKWORTH - 25 June 1841 aged 62
Hannah BRINKWORTH - 10 March 1865 aged 62 - residence Priding Arlingham c1803 (FoD records)

Family Search does have a marriage of Henry BRINKWORTH marrying Diana LONGNEY 13 May 1802 - at St Nicholas Bristol.  This does appear the family are up and down the Severn i.e. Watermen

1841 census Arlingham - Priding

Henry BRINKWORTH - 65-69
Dianah BRINKWORTH - 60-64

Gloucesteshire Burial Index has a

Jasper BRINKWORTH buried at Kings Stanley - 17 November 1824 of Fretherne aged 71  ***
Jasper BRINKWORTH buried at Fretherne - 12 November 1829 aged 10.


Gloucestershire Records Office holds the Will of Jasper BRINKWORTH 1825 (labourer) Fretherne - this should be on Ancestry

There are about 13 BRINKWORTH burials at Kings Stanley inc an Ann - 27 January 1824 aged 75 - residence: near Picked Elm.

Both the National Archives and Gloucestershire Records Office have,,,

7 February 1832

Memorandum of conviction of Henry BRINKWORTH of Arlingham for assaulting Maria POOLER of Arlingham.

You can use the Forest of Dean records Advance Search for witnesses

e.g.

When Thomas BRINKWORTH of Newnham married Elizabeth PRICE of Newnham at Newnham
18 April 1802 - Giles PORTER? and Henry BRINKWORTH signed.

Sarah BRINKWORTH married William BURNELL at Arlingham - 16 August 1826 - Henry BRINKWORTH and an Elizabeth BRINKWORTH signed.

Jasper & Elizabeth BRINKWORTH had two children christened at Westbury on Severn

Giles (family name) - 8 August 1791 and Joseph - 3 February 1793 - the CLDS have other children listed.

So Henry and Ann are either brother and sister - or cousins....

Thank you!

Looking through what you were able to find, I think Henry and Ann are probably brother and sister.  We have a few Longney in our tree on Thomas' side, including a Walter Longney who was witness on their marriage banns.  I didn't know that there was a witness cross reference database.  This has been such a help and at least gives me some hopeful direction to start again.

Thanks again for all the assistance.  Very appreciated.
